#hongkongtrip My visit to the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre was a delightful exploration of the city's rich cultural heritage. Located in Kowloon Park, this center provides a captivating glimpse into Hong Kong's history and traditions. The center's architecture is a blend of old and new, with a historic former military building serving as its backdrop. Inside, the exhibits are thoughtfully designed, taking visitors on a journey from ancient Chinese culture to colonial-era Hong Kong. I was particularly impressed with the displays on traditional Chinese rituals, festivals, and craftsmanship. The interactive elements and multimedia presentations added depth to the experience. The Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre is a hidden gem for history enthusiasts and a serene oasis in the bustling city. It left me with a deeper appreciation for the cultural tapestry that makes Hong Kong so unique. #ukcreator #Hongkong

#hongkongtrip Located in Kowloon Park, Kowloon, Hong Kong, Tsimahatsui MTR station Exit A. It was built in 1890’s whilst Hong Kong was under British rule as the site of British Army’s Whitfield Barracks, used until 1967. The construction was made adaptable to local climate through the use of local techniques and materials; pitched tarred Chinese tiled roofs, deep flattened arch colonnaded verandahs of each elevation, wooden shutters, raised semi basement under colonnade verandahs for better ventilation. Later it was restored and converted into museum complex and opened to public in 2005. It features exhibitions on the origins of archaeological treasure of Hong Kong dating back 6,000 years.

"Light of Jinsha - The Ancient Shu Civilisation" exhibition at The Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre The Jinsha site was a recent archaeological discovery in 2001. The major findings are mainly about the traditional cultural customs back in the ancient Shu of 4,000 years ago. The exhibition was not big but there were some interesting relics. My favourite one is the stone set of a tiger, a snake and a kneeling figurine with hands tied at the back. It is believed to be a human sacrifice activity, relating to religion or even occult. There were two grade-one national treasures, gold artefacts - a face-shaped gold foil and a frog-like gold foil. The most significant treasure unearthed at the site was the "gold foil sunbird", but only the replica was exhibited here instead. Majority included utensils made of ivory, gold, bronze and jade. #exhibition #museum #ancient #文物 #relics #museumlover #culture #chineseculture #custom #explorehongkong #hongkongexplore #hk #hongkong #hkiger #hkig #hkinfluencer #hkkol #hkblogger #hklifestyle #展覽 #香港 #香港好去處 #週未好去處

The Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre has 6 recommended British retro-style check-in spots! Although Hong Kong is small in size, it has many unique and flavorful buildings. One of them is the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre located next to Kowloon Park. The pure white exterior of the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre is one of the most classic British-style buildings in Hong Kong. Not only is the exterior beautiful, but there are also many check-in spots inside that are very Instagrammable. The Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre is located in Kowloon Park, formerly known as the S61 and S62 barracks on Waterloo Road. It is believed that the two barracks were built in the late 1890s. In 1967, the barracks were gradually handed over to the government for cultural and recreational use, and in 1970, they were developed into Kowloon Park. From 1983 to 1998, the two buildings were used as a temporary site for the Hong Kong Museum of History. In 2003, the buildings were handed over to the Antiquities and Monuments Office for restoration, and in 2005, they became the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre, used for promoting cultural heritage and educational activities. Since October 2005, the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Centre has been open to the public, with main facilities including permanent exhibition halls, thematic exhibition halls, lecture halls, education activity rooms, and reference libraries.
